Scholarship for Children of Lesbian and Gay Parents
San Francisco, CA (EGCM) For the third year, the Gay and Lesbian Parents
Coalition International (GLPCI) and Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere
(COLAGE) will be awarding scholarship money to further the education of
deserving children of lesbian or gay parents. In 1996, the total scholarship
pool will total at least $ 1,000.
Formerly known as the GLPCI-COLAGE Scholarship Fund, the Fund was recently
renamed as the "Lee Dubin Memorial Scholarship Fund" in loving memory of a
longtime member and former Treasurer of GLPCI, who died suddenly in 1995.
"We hope this scholarship program will continue to grow over time," says
GLPCI's Executive Director Tim Fisher. "And of course, your contributions to
the fund are always welcome." All donations are tax-deductible to the
fullest extent allowed by law.
Applicants must have at least one lesbian, gay or bisexual parent and be
enrolled as a full-time student in an accredited post-secondary institution.
The scholarship recipients will be announced on July 6th, 1996 at GLPCI's
